Biography
Li Anquan was born in 1170 to a family of Taoist Tanguts, and he was the son of King Li Renyou and the nephew of Emperor Renzong of Western Xia. He came into power after overthrowing Emperor Huanzong of Western Xia in a coup d'etat, and the incompetent Xiangzong launched a campaign against the Great Jin. He tried to become an ally of the Mongol Empire, but Genghis Khan saw Xi Xia as a roadblock in his path to conquering China. In 1211, his cousin deposed him to become "Emperor Shenzong of Western Xia", and Emperor Xiangzong died that same year.
